The Diary Of A Picky Eater

If it's not some sort of carb covered in cheese, I don't want it.

The Diary Of A Picky Eater
Giphy

If you get anxiety by this sentence, "would you like to come over for dinner", you are in fact a picky eater. If there isn't a kids menu, you're screwed. If your friends pick a sushi restaurant for a night out, you tend to "be sick". So, picky eaters unite! No one quite understands like we do. Here are 10 struggles we face on a daily basis.

1. Having to check the menu of a restaurant online before you go there.

You know, just to make sure they have an adult grilled cheese, chicken tenders or if you're in desperate need... bread rolls.

2. Coming up with every excuse as to why you can't come over for dinner.

Lets face it, nothing is worse than having to forcefully feed yourself a fork full of vegetables and pretend to actually like it.

3. Feeling relieved when your date asks you out for pizza.

Its a win-win for both parties! You get to indulge on your favorite food and they get a cheap date!

4. Being forced to try foods on a daily basis.

Ugh don't they get it? I've already tried it and I hated it. Just because it's now grilled instead of steamed it will not taste any different. Please don't make me suffer once again.

5. Nice restaurants are your worst nightmare.

"Uhh...can I just have the lobster linguini...minus the lobster...and everything else included besides the linguini...?"

6. Bread is your best friend.

Bread rolls are always a safe bet.


7. You have three solid food choices you rotate between.

Because nothing is wrong with eating mac and cheese three days in a row.

8. Having to deal with the embarrassment of ordering off the kids menu.

"I'll have the chicken tenders with a side of fries and I would like to upgrade to the adult portion please."

9. Having to constantly explain your dietary restrictions.

" Well, I don't eat meat besides bacon and hotdogs. Oh and I'll eat potatoes if they are fried... Shall I continue?"

10. But in the end, you get to celebrate the little victories.

Mom, Mom!! I tried it and I like it!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
